Yes absolutely. The results are actually useful, they don’t have an incentive to keep you from finding what you are searching for. There is way less copywritten content and if there is, you can just block it.

Whenever I have to go back to “free” alternatives I am shocked by how much worse it is.

Its most of these things in one.

Let’s say you’re a student and poor. You live cheaply, eat ramen every day, etc.

Now you get your first real job. The amount of money at first will seem crazy. There will be the temptation to just splurge, buy watches, fancy apartment, fancy car on loan, etc. This happens every time your income increases significantly.

Now let’s say you get fired. Suddenly you have the loans, the bigger apartment, etc but no way to pay for it. This will be very stressful and you may have to do things you don’t want to.

Imagine instead you didn’t have the car. You got a modest apartment, and saved some money. You have no debts, and can easily take half a year to get a new job no stress.

So when I say live below your means, I mean do not give in to the temptation to splurge. Spend less money than you make.

Try to put at least 30% or so of your income to the side (aim for 50%). Make an emergency fund of at least 3 months worth of expenses. Then start putting money into tax-deductible retirement funds and ETFs.

Most importantly, never take loans and keep monthly expenses like subscriptions to a minimum.

I find it hard to argue that it is a lie, when it is not said which part of AWS is actually required. The systems you mention are multiple orders of magnitude smaller. It is not clear that they would be able to scale to the same size.

You would require geographically distributed data centers with good and stable connectivity between them and at least some form of globally replicated fast database. It is indeed not so easy.

In Ubuntu you used to be able to delete the UEFI firmware from the motherboard.

Its called SDI, but… €€€

Live below your means.

I’ve seen this haven’t tried it out though

Try /sys/firmware

What about yoga? You constantly have to think about the movement there is no real mental downtime.

Everything should run under their own user when possible. This software is not using a privileged port (< 1000) so it doesn’t need root.

The docs seem a bit lazy if that is not recommended, possibly it will try to access some files it does not have access to.

This is actually really interesting!

This taxable individual, Kokott explains, was found to have bought and resold through “various forums, groups, and platforms such as Facebook, Discord, and Skype” enough RuneScape gold to earn €415,484—approximately $488,000 USD—between 2021 and 2023.

They then were ordered to backpay VAT because they made above 45k. Defendant says trading virtual currencies is like trading crypto, and VAT exempt. Government says its like selling a voucher instead.

Its corner cases like this one that make taxes complicated for regular people.

I also find it hilarious that tax lawyers and accountants will have to read that court decision.

Sozialer Druck kann viel bewirken. Wenn die Leute permanent ausgeschlossen werden wenn sie sich wie Arschlöcher verhalten, halten sie auch wieder die Klappe.

The threat model is that all communication is recorded and will be decrypted once the technology becomes available. The question then becomes for how long you want your data to be secure. If its for example 40 years, you need to chose an algorithm today that is still secure in 40 years.

I would recommend something like stalwart, which is just a single binary and works. Gives you a web interface and a zonefile you can just copy paste into your DNS including all correct DMARC DKIM SPF and autodiscovery records.

Setting postfix, dovecot etc. up from scratch can be a bit time consuming and annoying.

Deliverability depends on where it is hosted, many VPC providers IP space is completely blocked in spam filters.

When oxygen was first released during the great oxygenation event, it killed all other life on earth.

If the first game you ever played with a stick was a flight simulator, then down is up.

He left / was kicked out of the EU parliament because of corruption, spying, etc. and was elected to the German parliament after that so I am not too hopeful.

Its a thing in Thailand. Family elephants.
